out of your bed

in the kitchen window

and provoking the others

to do the same

The morning before you broke

ground I was worried

the soil would be too much

for you to overcome

Now I follow

my grandmother’s practice

stand close and whisper

encouragement to your leaves

while you turn closer each second

to the light

You are alive in a way

I am not alive

so I sing to you
